What Are Some Causes Of a Water Main Break? 

Water main breaks are caused by a variety of reasons. In fact, most of the time a water main break can be caused by several factors that lead to the eventual break down of the pipe.

Some culprits in water main breaks include:

  • Overly dry or wet conditions
  • Freezing temperatures
  • Sudden fluctuations in pressure
  • Normal aging of the pipe
  • Faulty materials, such as polybutylene pipes
  • Accidental damage from construction projects

The Best Water Main Repair In VA, DC & MD

There are only a few water main service specialists in Washington, D.C. and the surrounding areas who can help residents with a water main break. However, no one will respond to service calls more quickly or fix the issue permanently than John C. Flood.

Our crew will quickly isolate the pipe by shutting off appropriate water valves and then work quickly to make the repair or replacement of the broken pipe. A water main break can undoubtedly wreak havoc on the landscape of a home, but the damage caused by a water main fiasco is often heightened due to outdated service solution techniques that result in holes all over lawns.

At John C. Flood, our team of water main repair experts uses the latest “trenchless” technology to fix the damage caused by a water main. This not only resolves major water main breaks efficiently and effectively, but it also safeguards your landscaping from ugly blemishes that are nearly impossible to cover up.

After the water main service, you should expect to see discolored, reddish water, but there’s no need to panic. This is only caused by trace amounts of iron compounds flushing out of the system. Although it is unpleasant, it is not harmful to your family and will pose no threat to your health. Just simply run the cold water tap for a few minutes and it should clear.

Although we can work reactively to a water main break, we also offer proactive water main replacements so homeowners don’t have to deal with an unexpected and unwelcome surprise. We’re currently offering a coupon for $250 off water main replacement services.

How Much Does It Cost To Replace A Water Main Line?

Replacing an entire water main line can range in cost depending on the severity and size of the break. The cost of replacing a water main line depends on the depth of the line, ease of access, and piping material used but it will typically cost around $5,000 for the replacement of the line.
